Twitter Finally Unlocks New St. Vincent Track, "Surgeon"

On Tuesday, musician St. Vincent (a.k.a Annie Erin Clark) launched a Twitter campaign asking fans to tweet #strangemercy to unlock a new track from her upcoming album, Strange Mercy.

A few days and 5,000 tweets later, the track has finally been set loose on the world, just in time for the heat-soaked weekend: It starts off a lazy, floaty summery jam and then spirals off into an electronic melee toward the tail end.

You can nab the track via the dedicated website, which also features a series of videos playing on the theme of "strange mercy." Check out my favorite below, featuring a voiceover from the velvet-voiced Devonté Hynes — a.k.a. Blood Orange.
